Hey! Let’s Give Bill Gates a Break…Please?
Every year Rescuecom publishes its annual ‘Top 5 Computer Problems Report’ and each year problems associated with Microsoft Windows is always at the top.
Hardware problems, slow computer, Internet connectivity problems and data recovery/backup rounded out the top five problems.
While I recognize that Windows is not the easiest OS to use, and while the release of MS Vista has been less than perfect, I must admit that I love using Windows XP.
Shouldn’t we give Bill Gates a break? Has Bill and Microsoft become the whooping boy for all that is wrong with technology?
Think about it — his operating system works (most of the time) with several software programs and runs on numerous PC hardware configurations usually without a hitch.
Microsoft, in its pursuit to be ‘All things to All People’ may have sometimes promised too much or over-stepped its boundaries, but in general haven’t they been good for the industry?
How many of you MCSE’s, MCSA’s, MCP’s…or all of you MC-whatevers might be doing something else for a living if it were not for Bill?
Something paying a lot less…
BTW…Has Apple been perfect? How many jobs have they created? Are you proud to be Apple Certified?
